How many chances does Kevin McHale get exactly?
They sure embrace failure in the Twin Cities when it comes to basketball.

No wonder KG left.

And the bullshit letter to the season ticket holders .. another sign of how owners lie.

(I just received my lie letter from the Giants.)


As a valued member of our Timberwolves family, I want to inform you of a decision that I reached regarding the future of our team. Earlier this morning I relieved Randy Wittman of his coaching duties. I hold Randy in the highest personal regard but believe that a change was needed to get our team back on track.

To replace Randy on the bench, I have decided to name Kevin McHale as our new head coach. Kevin will relinquish his role in basketball operations so he can devote his full time and energy to his head coaching responsibilities. No one knows this team better than Kevin and this new opportunity allows us our best chance to develop our young group of players.

I know many fans have been frustrated at the pace of our rebuilding and our challenges in the win and loss column. As a fan first and foremost, I share this frustration. But I also know that our young team is incredibly talented. I continue to have high hopes for this group of players and believe that this coaching change is our best opportunity to accelerate the rebuilding process and make significant gains for the remainder of this season. :rofl:

Know that I continue to be passionate about Timberwolves basketball and remain committed to building a franchise that we can all be proud of. :spray:

Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to seeing you at Target Center.

Regards,

Glen Taylor

1. Kevin McHale is the NBA's version of Matt Millen.
They were both great as players, and McHale seems to get as much of a free pass for shoddy management as Millen did.

2. Has McHale ever been a head coach before at this level? I don't know if he will sink
to the level of PJ Carlissimo, though.

3. Why are you insinuating that I'm a PJ Carlesimo fan?
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 04:58 PM by cboy4
He was with my team for two years and was a failure.

Why would I defend that?

I may be a lot of things but everyone knows I'm no suck-up.

You're such a trouble-maker, BTW.

Sadly I almost admire that about you.

But I will never shake hands with a Cowboys fan. :puke:

HA


on edit...typo

4. He's actually the only coach in recent history that embodied the suckitude
I could think of. Hasn't he failed in three tries? BTW, he's not a choker, just a chokee!!

Maybe it's the catch that I am still pissed about. :grr: I could never have shaken your hand either!

:hi:

5. McHale's going to find out quickly
that the talent he assembled is every bit as bad as their record indicates.

Here's hoping Taylor wakes up and realizes that they need some non-sucky personnel people.

7. That sounds about right.
I think the Detroit Lions' organization is secretly calling the shots in Minnesota.

8. I'm still amazed at what Matt Millen did to that organization. Lions fans
having to look back at the "good-old days" when Wayne Fontes was there.

:wow:

12. I'm not sure why the troubles of teams I don't care about irritate
me so much!!

But at least we know the Minnesota owner says he's committed to winning. :eyes:
